John Stewart, mason, and his family

Erected by Margaret Stewart in affectionate memory of her father John Stewart, mason who died in Edinburgh 23rd August 1839 aged 54 years and is interred in the west church yard of that town also of her mother Janet Stewart wife of the above who died at Ballintoul, Blair Athole 7th September 1862 aged 77 years Also of her sister Maggy who died at Dalcroy 1812 aged 3 years Also of her grandfather William Stewart and father of the above John Stewart who died of fever in the year 1809 The last three named are interred here The above Margaret Stewart housekeeper to H.R.H. The Prince of Wales died at Sandringham, Norfolk January 24 1889 in her 66 year and is interred there "Well done thou good and faith full servant. Enter thou into the joy of thy lord"

There is said to be a connection between this family and the Stewarts (or Frasers) of Strathtummel, but the link is unclear. The burial in Struan churchyard instead of Blair Atholl churchyard may support this idea.

Janet Stewart's death certificate in 1862 gives her age as 75, instead of the 77 years recorded on the monument.

Her parents were John Stewart, farmer, and Christian Campbell.

The death certificate was signed by her son, John Stewart.
